Further progress

These are the most recent 4 pieces of ongoing 8 feet length. This is really like doing a very long sampler and is a good way of practicing new techniques. The most recent piece (above) is in double weave which I haven't done before. The very plain piece will have sea glass added later and the fluffy piece will be trimmed.

About Me

Hi my name is Debbie and I live by the sea.
I am a maker who works with textiles and mixed media mainly through the medium of weave. I am interested in creating pattern and texture through the tactile elements of different yarns and fabrics.
I mainly use muted colours and my work is heavily influenced by the environment surrounding me. I use driftwood and other found objects from beach combing in many of my weavings, working intuitively or from photographs.
I usually work on a small scale with predominately natural fabrics and yarns, cottons, silks and nettle.
Recently I have been experimenting with different elements in my weaving to a create a more three-dimensional effect and look forward to developing this work. I am also experimenting with natural dyeing and eco printing on textiles and paper.
